Possibly Tmi: Read With Caution

[ebthompson2010 126]

So.... I am 4 wks out now and today I had a new and not so pleasant experience. I had very bad diarrhea and it was oil like. There was oil floating in the Water around it.... Should I be concerned?? Really sorry if TMI.

I had something like that and I am about a week out. It was my first bowel movement and it came out as you described. The other day I was at work and I felt the urgency to go throughout and it was again as you described. I was not concerned about it. I figured it was due to gas they put in our stomach.

If you have had your gallbladder out- this is normal. I had mine out with my sleeve and I can tell EVERY single time I eat something greasy or fatty- same exact thing happens.

My gallbladder is out so that explains me.....

I'm 6 weeks out and still have some very loose, watery-like. My nurse practitioner said it was normal, liquids in, liquids out. Ive also learned too much sugar-free stuff will really upset my stomach, even if it's sugar-free Jello.< /p>

I still have my gall bladder. That's why I'm a little worried. Could I be having gall bladder problems now??? It's not normal watery stools. It's the oil in the Water that's concerning me.

sugar-free stuff does that oil-thing to me!

You should ask your doctor at your next post op appointment,

Have you been drinking broth? That could make it look like oil on top. My urine looked like that when I was in the hospital.

I think from what I have read- that our food passes through too quickly and does not absorb well- and the oil is not used.

Good question- I'm going to read up a bit more too!

Alli (the "FDA approved weight loss pill" blocks grease and oil from being absorbed and you poop oil ranging from mild yellow to spray tan orange. Maybe that's all but double check with your Doc (:

I had the same experience a couple times when I was one or two weeks out (I don't remember exactly when). And although I'm not a medical professional, and I'm only mentioning this for purely sympathetic reasons, and I don't in any way suggest that this will be your experience, but I haven't had an oily diarrhea experience since then. I admit that I have absolutely no idea why and this is only MY experience. I will say though that I still have my gallbladder.

I am having a very similar experience. I don't know if it is related.. But I am having gallbladder problems now... I'm going for another hospital exam on Tuesday. I know I have gallbladder sludge... So maybe...
